What are Airbrush Body Art?

An airbrush tattoo is a type of temporary body art which is created with stencils, FDA approved body paints and an atomizer. The stencil from the chosen design is placed on the skin.

Different graphics, pattern and style can be obtained; they can be simple as well as complex. It depends on number of stencils and colors used to create the tattoo. Professional body art makers make stencils from original designs. If you want to do it at home, there are several brands available in the market who sells readymade stencils. More info here.

How They are Applied?

Step 1: Pick up a stencil and select the area on the skin where you are going to put it. Clean that portion of the skin with Isopropyl alcohol (70%). It is readily available in chemist shops.

Step 2: Shake or stir the pain well before using. Depending on the airbrush to be used, pour the requisite amount in a bottom – feed bottle or top – feed airbrush container.

Step 3: If you are using readymade self- adhesive stencils, you just have to peel off the back paper and place it straight on skin.

If you are using mylar stencil, lightly wet out the back of the stencil and let it dry for 10 to 15 seconds. Place it onto the skin. See some designs at eyelash-extensions.melbourne.

Tip: The stencil tac will stick to the skin if it gets too damp. In such instance, remove the tac very carefully with a q –tip dipped in alcohol.

Step 4: Keep the airbrush approx. 3 to 4 inches away from the skin. Spray the paints lightly over the skin through stencil. Apply as many coats necessary to get the desired color concentration.

Tip: Do not spray too heavily or too close onto the skin because this will ruin the design by color bleeding.

Step 5: Use solid or mixed colors to achieve your custom design. If you want an outline, slightly spray a dark color around the borders of the stencil.

Step 6: Clean your brush properly in between switching colors. After finishing the tattoo use alcohol; airbrush cleaner and paper towel. Gently pat it, never wipe it. Apply some baby power on it to get the matt look and to dry it quickly.
